Washington — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday said she would next week follow through on her threat to force a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, adding to the dysfunction that has become increasingly routine for Republicans in the lower chamber.
"I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they may," Greene said at a news conference Wednesday. "And so next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate."
Greene, a Georgia Republican, has dangled the threat of dethroning Johnson since late March after he relied on Democrats to push through a $1.2 trillion spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown.
